Every year I spend two weeks down at our timeshare in Cabo San Lucas. In our resort there are always opportunities to see the Gila Woodpecker. Here is a set of five photos I took a little over a month ago. These were taken from the lanai of my friend Christa’s villa.

This is not a very good photo, but I found it interesting to see a Northern Flicker on a wire. I guess I had never seen a Flicker on a wire before – on the grass or in a tree, or pecking on the side of my house, but a wire? Anyway. There he is.

In this set of 2 photos I first show you a quick photo I took of the Red-breasted Sapsucker. He didn’t stay around long. I was walking on the boardwalk out to two barns, or returning (what’s the diff), and found this bird close to the area where I have photographed one before. The previous encounter went better as the bird was much more cooperative. The second photo is a scenery shot of the boardwalk. It is a very extensive boardwalk – going in a loop for over a mile out to Two Barns and back.
